As the founder of Lake Anna Spa, I have been a Master Rehabilitation Therapist for 22 years now. I started my therapy career in Michigan working as a Sports trainer and evolving into day spas in the Ann Arbor and Saline area. I also did in-home travel therapy and co-owned my own physical therapy office at one point. My work mainly focused on athletes and people recovering from surgeries and strength building. I have advanced training as a certified Neuromuscular rehabilitation therapist and Myofacial Trigger Point therapist and Acu-Therapist. My skills as a personal trainer and athletic recovery therapist have made me unique in what I can offer to my clients who are looking for results-driven therapy to help them feel and function at their very best.
My goal was to provide effective quality care to the people in the town I lived in so when the opportunity to open my very own studio in Louisa became available I leaped at the chance. Known as Therapeutic Massage and Rehabilitation which then transitioned into Spavauna when spa and body treatments were introduced. For three years Spavauna was on the main street across from the court house and I just loved my little studio. It wasn’t until COVID-19 that I started looking at alternative ways to grow and expand on what I could offer my community and the Lake became a focus for where the growth was to become. The search for the perfect team became evident and that is when I was introduced to my now business partner Kathleen DeAngelo who is an impressive and accomplished therapist herself! Finding a new larger location in the Valere building we started with the larger room on the lowest level and expanded into the remaining space in two and a half years adding three additional practitioners in the process. Each of our team members at Lake Anna Spa has unique gifts and talents that can help take care of our community’s needs.
